Staff Handbook & Employee Handbook Templates

A Staff Handbook is the generic term for a collection of employment policies and procedures used by an employer to manage its staff. The documents and policies are an essential legal requirement for all employers, regardless of size.

Employers can print the documents they need from the Employers Pack and put them in a binder, or keep the entire Pack on a server for staff to access. Whichever method is used, you should make all staff aware of the contents of your staff handbook. That is why we include a staff handbook sign-off form with the Pack, for each employee to sign, acknowledging they have read the staff handbook and agree to be bound by it.

What should be included in a staff handbook?

A staff handbook is a cost-effective way to manage all employees, with all the policies in one fixed-price product. Our product is a complete employee handbook template.

Our staff handbook provides an up-to-date source of employment contracts, employment policies, human resources and health & safety forms. The Employers Pack also includes our full range of business documents as a free extra.

Employment law is constantly changing – the Pack includes 12 months of free upgrades included in the price.

Our customers range from 2-3-person businesses to large overseas companies that require employment documents and policies for their UK staff.

(Please note this product is for internal use by customers and is not for resale by HR professionals.)

The costs of not having a proper staff handbook can be considerable. By not having the correct procedures in place, an employer is exposed to any number of possible claims – unfair dismissal, age, race, sex discrimination and more.
